Angelo's was highly recommended and lived up to and even surpassed expectations. Their cheesesteak w/ cooper sharp and grilled onions is one of the best sandwiches - any sandwich, not just cheesesteak - I've ever tasted. Definitely worth the wait!
Every time I visit Philly (usually for PJ- 2009, 2012, 2013, 2016) I get a cheesesteak but with chicken. Each and every time I am criticized and rightfully so lol
Let's talk about this ridiculous idea that fake plastic cheez (cheese whiz) is the "traditional" topping for a cheesesteak. My parents had a hoagie shop in the early 70s and the cheesesteak cheese options at the time were American and Provolone. Fake Plastic Cheez (yes very much a pun on a Radiohead song) IS NOT the traditional "cheese" for a cheesesteak. Stop listening to millennial and gen z morons telling you this nonsense.
That is an interesting take. I will eat a cheesesteak with Whiz, but I definitely prefer provolone. There is a place in Huntington Beach, CA that I would go to a lot called John's Philly Grille. They make a delicious chicken hoagie on an Amoroso roll. Grilled chicken chunks, mushrooms, provolone, and lettuce and tomato. I crave that juicy bomb sandwich all of the time. Beef one is good, as well. Still never been to Philly. Someday.

We too hit Angelo's on Saturday morning and it was indeed next level. I've been a John's guy for years, but Angelo's blows it away.
"What can you expect when you're on top? You know? It's like Napoleon. When he was the king, you know, people were just constantly trying to conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire. So, it's history repeating itself all over again."
